MA 4Port Node With the increasing requirements of clients and designers in both fixed
installations and events/concerts, the need for sophisticated solutions
for signal transportation and data distribution is inevitable. Also, latest
technical developments and requirements have to be met.
The MA 8Port Node, MA 4Port Node,MA 4Port Node WM (Wall Mount),
MA 2Port Node, MA 2Port Node WM (Wall Mount) set an additional
benchmark in MA Lighting’s networking product range as they feature
the 1Gbit/s bandwidth capability. They allow the conversion of Ethernet
data into DMX or vice versa and fit perfectly into the grandMA2
system and its MA-Net2 protocol, which is based on this high speed to
ensure maximum performance. Optimised for touring and installation
purposes, all products have a rugged steel housing for a long life
even under harsh conditions. The Nodes offer a menu button, a USB
connector and a 2" colour TFT as well as LEDs displaying the current
status. All of these ensure a comfortable operation. The MA xPort
Nodes are fully configurable from the grandMA2 consoles or from
grandMA2 onPC. To achieve the highest flexibility, each DMX port can
be individually configured as DMX in or DMX out.
Furthermore all MA xPort Nodes are available as an onPC version to
provide parameters for standalone onPC stations (for more details see:
MA onPC solutions).
The MA 4Port Node is the perfect solution for converting a midsized
amount of DMX universes at the same location. The MA 4Port Node
is available in different fittings for adapting to multiple applications.
First there is the basic version based on a 9"/1HU housing, where all
connectors are located on the back. Additionally an add-on fitting is
available to mount this basic version into a 19" rack. Second a special
fitting can be used where all connectors on the back of the MA 4Port
Node are mirrored on an additional front panel for an easier access
when rackmounted. Third possibility is to combine two MA 4Port Nodes
for rack use by adding rack mounting brackets and a special threaded
fastener between the two single MA 4Port Node units. Fourth option is
